EcoLock vinyl sheet piles

Vinyl sheet piles

are made from rigid polyvinyl chloride modified with agents

facilitating processing, impact resistance modifying agents, thermal and UV stabilising agents and mineral
filling materials. The sheet piles are manufactured by applying the extrusion moulding method as monolithic
profiles or the co-extrusion moulding method with the core made from the material obtained through
recycling construction type PCV, covered with a layer of the primary plastic material. The standard colour
range includes grey, olive and brown. There is a possibility to order sheet piles in RAL colours.

Light and easy to install with the use of standard

tools,

Cheap savings of up to 40% on materials,

installation and transport services

Long-term protection without the need for

maintenance due to the material being
completely resistant to:
bio-corrosion
rust
cracking
scratching
abrasion
sea water
harmful UV rays

Warranty of up to 50 years extraordinary

durability, very good mechanical and endurance

parameters,

Ecological solution the product contains

material obtained from the recycling of structural
PVC with the possibility for further processing,

Lock connections ensure leakproofness of the

walls,

Clean, simple and aesthetic appearance is made

possible thanks to practically invisible coupling,

Simpler installation compared to other sheet

piles of this type thanks to the unique flatsurface project,

Easy to form interior and exterior curves

matching the natural shore lines, e.g. in river

engineering.

Installation methods

Driving
The most commonly used method, in which sheet piles are
mechanically pressed into the soil with the use of vibratory
hammers along the pre-installed templates. In order to fully
protect the piling against damage, light equipment with
small impact energy is used. The type of the equipment
used is dependent on the type of soil, the depth of the
cavity and the durability of the sheet pile. The key to
a successful installation in hard, dense surfaces, and in
ramming long elements, is the use of special guide bars
called mandrels. Side or front mandrels work best. You can
also use multiple mandrels that allow you to mount several
pilings at the same time. This is a steel element in the shape
reflecting the rammed vinyl sheet pile. Mandrel length
must match the length of the rammed PVC elements.

Advantages of using mandrels:

enables ramming sheet piles in very difficult soil
environments (compact silt, clay, gravel)
enables installation of long profiles, even up to 12 m
prevents sheet piles from cracking while being drived
removes obstacles found in soil (roots, stones)
helps to maintain straight lines
ensures pre-loosening of soil
multiple mandrels significantly accelerate installation work

Jetting
A method used in the installation of sheet piles in very
cohesive or heavily compacted soils. The jetting technique
aims to create pressure directly under the foot of the sheet
pile, which will loosen and remove the ground under the
profile.

Trenching
A method used in the construction of a pile wall with a small
cavity. Sheet piles are installed in the previously dug out
trench, which is then filled on both sides of the wall with
a ballast selected in the design.

Implemented investments
The Pietrucha company has been manufacturing sheet piles for almost 10 years. We can boast a high
sales growth year to year. A large part of our production is exported. We have customers in locations varying
from South America, through Europe, Eastern Europe to the Far East. Our products are valued not only for
global quality, which is confirmed by the parameters, but also competitive prices.
